 Decades of Western aid have failed to bring prosperity to the continent. More money leaves through debt repayment and corruption than is invested. Widespread colonialism continues through France’s control of the CFA Franc and the USA’s control of the World Bank/IMF. Local economies need to be deregulated and opened up to enable entrepreneurs to create and flourish. Private property also needs to be promoted and hard money adopted that can’t be used to exploit citizens. Stop victimising and start creating. #Bitcoin #Africa
